Aion going free-to-play in Europe

"We want to reinvigorate the world of Aion and attract new adventurers to the towns to take to the skies as Daevas."

So says the Aion team in a surprising announcement overnight. NCsoft has teamed up with Gameforge to bring free-to-play Aion to the European servers (yet). The change is scheduled to take place in February of 2012, and will not affect the NA servers. The new Aion free-to-play site is set up to answer all of players' immediate questions and concerns, featuring an extensive FAQ and an outline of the three account types that will be available.

Check out the free-to-play trailer beclow, and you can find all of the details on the new Aion F2P site.
